So it turns out jumping spiders can dream

German researchers have discovered jumping spiders enter REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
I find it fascinating how the more they study these animals the more they learn.

Absolutely fascinating animals!
Can't wait to see what else they find out!

Well we don't actually know if they dream yet, I for one am doubtful. Would be very interesting if it was so.

Edit: Gotta love the news station using a false headline to get more views lol.

Why do Jumping Spiders have to be so shortlived? Totally would get one if it lived for more than just 2-3 years.
